Olmsted Medal: Atlanta BeltLine Inc. and Atlanta BeltLine Partnership

The Atlanta BeltLine Inc. and Atlanta BeltLine Partnership will jointly receive the Olmsted Medal, which recognizes individuals, organizations, agencies or programs outside the profession of landscape architecture for environmental leadership, vision and stewardship. Both are a very effective team in the advancement and implementation of the Atlanta Beltline project, which is connecting a green “beltline” around Atlanta through the creation of 22 miles of streetcars, 33 miles of multi-use trails and 2,000 acres of parks on old rail corridors. As the largest public project in the country, the Beltline and its leadership have proven the transformative role this project has played, and will continue to play, in the future of Atlanta.
